Some Questions - Frequent and Otherwise
What is Weird Phishes?
Weird Phishes is a hybrid mashup band that features the music of Radiohead and Phish.
Why would I want to see Phish covers after seeing Phish?
You probably wouldn't. And neither would we. Rather than playing traditional covers, Weird Phishes throws elements from the source material into a genre-spanning blender and rearanges them into completely new music, anchored by improvisational freedom. You might hear snippets or riffs inspired by Phish songs, but it's a little more like picking out samples in a DJ set than hearing covers.
Will your Paranoid Android jam hit the 20-minute mark?
It has happened before!
Do I need to like Radiohead for this? They're too sad for me.
No. While Weird Phishes strives to respect the source material, all of the songs are completely rearranged for a live music performance that's much closer in spirit to a Phish show.
Do I need to like Phish for this? They're too silly for me.
No. But how the hell did you end up here?
Do I need to like anything for this?
No. If you're in this position there is a good chance Weird Phishes will be the first thing you ever like.
Will you ripcord into a Farmhouse/Creep mashup?
Anything could happen. Just kidding, no.
Will you start at 11:59 on the dot?
Probably not, but it's a lot easier than saying "Sometime between 11:50 and 12:15am; really whenever Phish gets out...well I guess technically 12:15am is the next day but like, it's actually after the Phish show the 25th so remember that." We all know which friend would show up on the wrong night. If you're confused right now, you're that friend.
Will you end at Late on the dot?
On the dot.
Is Sony Hall really one of the coolest venues in Manhattan?
The vibes are off the charts, and in this writer's opinion, it has the best sound in the whole city.
I heard it's Chris' birthday that day. Will he be there?
He said he will be, but he's definitely gone missing before. If you do see him make sure to wish him a happy birthday. He would give me shit if I didn't put this in the FAQ.
You mentioned a blender earlier. Will Drew Carey be there?
Best we could do is Chris.
Can I bring balloons in?
Only if they're birthday balloons.

"The Bends" reimagined at The Middle East Downstairs | Tickets Available Now We're excited to announce a brand new full-album performance experience in our hometown, complete with another WPTBM presale, happening now.
It’s been a long time since we did a full album set (let alone a full album debut) and we couldn’t be more excited to share our rendition of Radiohead’s “The Bends” with you all for the first time at The Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, MA. Equal parts 90s-guitar-rock and sensitive-soft-side, we’ll be running every song through the Weird Phishes filter, bringing full rearrangements, unexpected mashups, and crunchy, danceable jams in the style of Phish. We have never been a tribute band that performs note-for-note renditions of classic records. Instead, we strive to find completely new emotion in existing works by merging the melancholy rock of Radiohead with the spirit, humor, and jams of Phish - two artists from completely different sides of the coin.
Each time we debut a full-album rendition we do our best to capture the spirit of the album, while simultaneously leaving nothing as it was. The melodies and lyrics will all be familiar, but the energy will be new and unexpected. We believe this makes for one of the most unique live music experiences possible. Even though the songs aren’t ours, the music is - and we’re excited to share it with you.
This show marks the return of our hometown WPTBM tradition - Weird Phishes Tickets By Mail. For a limited time, we’re selling limited tickets with custom art for this show, with absolutely $0.00 in fees. We hate the idea of making you spend extra money in fees, and want to help out as much as we possibly can, while creating a cool collectible in the process. Click the link in our bio to buy your physical tickets now and have them mailed to you 2-3 weeks before the show.
WPTBM tickets are sold out as of Thursday, September 11th.
Tickets are available on the venue's website now.
